THX® CERTIFIED SELECT™ REFERENCE SOUND
THX Certified Select guarantees the high-volume sound experienced at a commercial cinema in your home. To gain certification, amplifiers must pass severe THX bench-tests covering every aspect of audio performance. THX Certified Select components suit rooms where screen-to-seat viewing distance is about 3 meters and room volume around 57 cubic meters.

DOLBY ATMOS® AND DTS:X® WITH UPMIXING SOLUTIONS
Object-based audio lets sounds play independently through any speaker, moving all around your audience so they feel 5.2.2-ch Dolby Atmos or DTS:X soundtracks with natural conviction. DTS Neural:X® and Dolby Surround upmixing solutions find spatial cues in legacy multichannel soundtracks and upmix them for 3D audio playback through your object-audio-ready speaker system. Both solutions offer cross-compatible support for common movie soundtracks, such as Dolby® Digital 5.1, Dolby® TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio™, so you can enjoy more immersive 3D sound from your movie library as well as with supported video streaming services.

ONKYO CONTROLLER APP FOR EASY MULTI ROOM MANAGEMENT
Onkyo Controller app collects streaming services and network attached audio into one intuitive interface. Control playback, navigate internet services, and distribute audio all over the home with ease.

CHROMECAST BUILT-IN, NOW WITH THE GOOGLE ASSISTANT
Stream any music from your smartphone, laptop, or PC to the TX-NR686 with ease. Control playback with Chromecastenabled apps you know and love from your iPhone, iPad, Android™ phone or tablet, Mac® or Windows® laptop, or Chromebook™.

WORKS WITH SONOS
Welcome your new A/V receiver into the Sonos Home Sound System family—just pair it with a Sonos Connect and let Onkyo sound join the party. “Works with Sonos” means a product is designed to fit seamlessly into the Sonos ecosystem, and will wake from standby, switch inputs, and commence playback at your desired volume whenever selected from the Sonos app. Just by adding a Sonos Connect, you upgrade the streaming capabilities of your Onkyo home theater, and thanks to RCA and optical/coaxial digital audio outputs, both setup flexibility and sound quality are outstanding. The Sonos app, meanwhile, gathers all your favorite streaming sources into one beautiful interface so you can orchestrate entertainment all over the home. Even guests can join in by installing the Sonos app on their devices.

*Note: Requires a free firmware update. Sonos Connect sold separately (includes RCA cable). Sonos app is available free from App Store or Google Play.

WI-FI, AIRPLAY, SPOTIFY®, AND BLUETOOTH®
Dual-band 5 GHz/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi assures stable connectivity so you can enjoy smooth streaming over AirPlay, the Spotify app, and the local network. Bluetooth technology also provides simple wireless streaming from music applications.

GIVE LIFE TO SOUND WITH DYNAMIC AUDIO AMPLIFICATION
High-current power is proven by an ability to drive four-ohm speaker loads, which test the toughest multichannel amplifier. Heaps of muscle means superior control for fast dynamics and high energy. Non-phase-shift amps present a detailed and cohesive audio image, while VLSC™ eliminates high frequency distortion for ultimate clarity of sound.

GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE WITH EASY SETUP
With speakers and media players connected, plug in the AccuEQ mic and let the receiver GUI guide you through setup, from speaker calibration (including AccuReflex phase correction for Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers) through to network connection. The refined interface makes control simple and enjoyable.

POWERED ZONE 2 AND ZONE 2 LINE-OUT
Powered Zone 2 speaker outputs let you send amplified audio sources, including network, S/PDIF, and analog, to a pair of speakers in another room. Line outputs can connect home cinema sources to a separate hi-fi system. Manage playback
distribution with Onkyo Controller.
